| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the interlaced royal cypher 'C7' — the crowned monogram of King Christian VII — rendered in large relief and surmounted by a royal crown with arched bands and orb finial. The monogram occupies nearly the full diameter of the inner field. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend running along the periphery identifying the king by his titles. |

The date 1767 appears in the lower segment of the inner circle, below a horizontal baseline representing the waterline. The surrounding legend, separated from the inner circle by a beaded border, identifies the denomination, currency, and colonial mint authority. |
